How to get widget settings?

    I’m trying to access a widget’s settings from outside the widget code.
    The name of the widget is: category_grid, and the name of the option is; widget_categories.

    I tried the following code which was suggested in an answer to another question but it doesn’t return anything.

    <?php
$options = get_option( 'widget_category_grid' );
$cats = $options['widget_categories'];
echo $cats;
?>

  • Hi @jrcollins,

    Did you check if $options is actually holding an array filled with values?

    Hi @tsure, I got this to work by using the following code:

    $widget_instances = get_option('widget_category_grid'); 
 $catsin = $widget_instances[2]['widget_categories'];

    I just needed to find the ID of the widget. In this case “2”.
